Crazy days

Nothing new to talk about this week.

Yesterday, Sunday, I had a free day, which I never get, and was planning out my day, when I asked the girls to bring me their backpacks.

I've had them forget weekend homework, until Monday morning, and then there is a scramble to get it done. So, I try to combat that by looking at the backpacks early.

So, sure enough, Olivia has two reports due by Oct. 31. We decided to tackle one of them, but it was a book report and it involves a project creation. We had to make a Michael's trip and that was pretty much the rest of the day.''

Of course, I had to read the book - Olivia was struggling with telling me the answers to some questions. How can I guide her for a book report if I don't know the answers to the questions myself.

So, I ended up spending an hour reading her book - which was pretty funny, because she was AMAZED that it only took me an hour to read the same book that took her two days to finish.

This'll be an ongoing thing for a few weeks.
